Circuit interrupter

A circuit interrupter which comprises:

• a stationary casing;
• a first contact formed in said stationary casing;
• a second contact which is movably fitted to said stationary casing to be detachable to said first contact;
• a cylinder-piston type negative pressure device comprising a suction chamber formed by a cylinder and a piston wherein said second contact is connected to said piston to form a negative pressure depending upon detaching operation of said first and second contact;
• a gas storage chamber containing low pressure gas formed by said stationary casing and said first and second contacts in the closed state of said first and second contacts;
• a suction guide formed by an opening formed in said second contact for connecting said storage chamber to said negative pressure device;
• a discharge guide formed by the exterior of said second contact and by an interior wall of said stationary casing for closing and opening a path into and out of said storage chamber depending upon the detaching operation of said first and second contacts wherein said interior wall of said stationary casing which forms a portion of said discharge guide further comprises a tapered part distal to said gas storage chamber in order to form an enlarged portion of said discharge guide which portion of said discharge guide is larger than a portion of said discharge guide proximal to said gas storage chamber in order to provide for increased flow of gas out of said storage chamber when the distance between said first and second contacts reaches a predetermined value in the detaching operation.
